13 April, 2017 - Layouts, Monochromes - Shades of Sofiero

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a layout featuring the Monochromes shades of Sofiero. I chose a photo I’ve taken from the Coliseum.

I primed the Mono White Sand paper with clear Gesso. When dry, I added a design with a stencil and a homemade paste made of gold mica powders, brown Primary Element, and 3D gloss gel.

When dry, I added a second design with another homemade paste made of a gray Primary Element and 3D gloss gel.

While the paste was drying, I die cut a few leaves in a watercolor paper and painted them with Primary Element and Twinkling H2O.

Finally, I die cut a bookplate in a cardboard that I colored with iron and white gold waxes.

I painted the background with different Twinkling H2O matching the color of the photo. Then I glued all the embellishments.

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new mixed media layout featuring both the “Enjoying Outdoors” and the “I Wish” collections.

As usual, I primed the background with clear gesso. While it was drying, I prepared a paste with 3D Gloss Gel and the Rust and the Gold Opal Magic Mica Powders. I added a first design with this homemade paste and a stencil.

I prepared a second paste with the Rusty Red Art Alchemy and the Texture Powder: the result is a matte paste. I used a second stencil to add another design and let dry everything.

I painted the orchids with the Rusty Red paint and added more gold to them with the Gold Opal Magic. I die-cut some branches in a watercolor paper.

I colored the background with Moonshadow spray ink and Magicals to match the colors of the photo. I added also some random stamping.

I cut some papers from the I Wish collection to match and add under the photo. I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a layout featuring the Sofiero paper collection. I chose a photo of my family: my grandmother, my father, my aunt and unfortunately I’m not sure who the other two are.

I primed the background with clear gesso. While it was drying, I cut a few papers from the Vintage Romance 6×6 pad that I glued on the background. Then I added a thin layer of white gesso.

I added a design with a stencil and different pastes: clear crackle, white crackle, and white stone. When dry, I added some color with Iris Potion Sparks paint that I watered down.

I die-cut some leaves in a watercolor paper. I colored the vine with Raven Sparks and the leaves with Twinkling H2Os. Then I covered them with the Antique Brillance Amethyst Magic. I added some wax on the background too to add a vintage look.

I colored some flowers with a spray made of Primary Element and water. Before gluing all the embellishments, I added some random stamping with an Archival ink and with the Raven Sparks. I added a little bird house that I colored with the wax too.

To finish the layout I added some micro beads.

2 March, 2017 - Cards, Vintage Summer Basics

Hello Sweeties

Today, I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new set of cards: Just for her, Just for him. Just for them.

I’ve worked with the Vintage Summer Basics collection. Yellow-orange and burgundy for her, aqua for him.

I cut a few papers that I glued together. I die-cut the smallest to add some interest.

I glued some sisal and splattered the card with a mix of glitter, gel medium, and water.

I die-cut a few leaves in a watercolor paper that I colored with Twinkling H2Os as well as the chipboards.

Hello Sweeties

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a new layout featuring the Enjoying Outdoor collection.

I started by priming the background with clear gesso. When dry, I sprayed some ink on a plastic bag, then I put my page on the plastic bag. I repeat the process twice with two different ink: one brown, one purple.
